For a second I thought I was going to get another King's Quest.

As Graham would say, "Woah wait a minute!". Unfortunately Sierra hasn't been around for 18 years at this point and is now currently owned by Microsoft Activision.

I'd also love to see another point-and-click KQ game in the style of KQ 5/6 - as they are two of my favorite games of all time.

I loved the Hero's Quest saga (later renamed Quest for Glory), specially the first HQ. I played it on an Hercules display, later a monochrome VGA monitor. I remember going to Erana's peace to have a good sleep for the night.

I played the original Sierra games on a green CGA monitor. Erana's peace... Good times.

I don't think these games are better than the modern ones. But I wonder if the next generation's memories will be as strong.
